A method for making a personal gastronomic decision or receiving
instruction involving price, availability, safety and convenience
information for food, such as for dining. The method involves sending an
inquiry from a display device to a central server and transmitting the
inquiry from the server to an information source. On receiving an action
from the source to the server, the method involves personalizing the
action for a particular user, interfacing the action with the display
device from the server, and displaying the action. The display device may
be a mobile device such as a Palm Pilot or a cell phone. The display
device may have a tactile, audible, or visual interface. Any language may
be translated, and any of the steps may be performed at a desired time.
